Drawesome Challenge #34 - Toned paper
Mar. 16th, 2021 10:00 pmBlimey! First completed
drawesome challenge for an AGE!
I combined this one with the Sky Portrait Artist of the Week, and tried to draw dancer Oti Mabusi. It's not quite right as a likeness, but I kind of like it all the same. I tried the technique of not sketching the features at all, but starting with all the lightest areas, and amazingly, the proportions actually worked. (Mostly)
